Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Cannot find logical file format for BSD file headers. Post 302957144 by Corona688 on Wednesday 7th of October 2015 12:12:53 PM

Fixing file permissions by editing raw disk blocks is like fixing a broken clock with a scanning-tunneling electron microscope. A monumental task, inefficient use of your time, too close to see the forest for the trees, and extremely unlikely to accomplish anything.

If those folders have become files, I would suspect they were renamed or deleted and files created in their place, rather than disk corruption or hacking turning them into files. Hacking is unlikely to accomplish something that even the kernel cannot, and I doubt you can "turn them back". Perhaps you could move them out of the way and see if itunes can create new folders in their place.

NAME
kfscmd, ksync - kfs administration SYNOPSIS
disk/kfscmd [-n name] cmd ... disk/ksync DESCRIPTION
Kfs is a local user-level file server for a Plan 9 terminal with a disk. Kfscmd transmits commands to the kfs server (see kfs(4)). The -n option changes the name of the kfs service to kfs.name (by default, full name is just kfs). Ksync executes the sync command for all active kfs servers. The known commands are described below. Note that some commands are multiple words and should be quoted to appear as a single argument to rc(1). allow Turn permission checking off (to simplify administration). disallow Turn permission checking on. halt write all changed blocks and stop the file system. help print the list of commands. rename file name Change the name of file to name. newuser user Add user to /adm/users and make the standard directories needed for booting. remove file Remove file and place its blocks on the free list. clri file Remove file but do not place the blocks on the free list. This command can be used to remove files that have duplicated blocks. The non-duplicate blocks can be retrieved by checking the file system with option f (see below). create file owner group mode [adl] Create the file. Owner and group are users in /adm/users and mode is an octal number. If present, creates an append only file, creates a directory, and creates a file that is exclusive-use. sync write to disk all of the dirty blocks in the memory cache. stats Report statistics about the performance of the file system. user Re-initialize authentication information by reading /adm/users. check [PRdfprtw] Check the file system. The options are p print the names of directories as they are checked. P print the names of all files as they are checked. r read all of the data blocks and check the tags. f rebuild the list of free blocks. d delete redundant references to a block. t fix bad tags. c fix bad tags and clear the contents of the block. w write all of the blocks that are touched.
